Abstract

Climate change is affecting farming systems worldwide. It is
expected that the impacts will be disproportionately felt by
small scale farmers who are already amongst the most poor
and vulnerable members of the society. NACA’s efforts to map
farmers’ perceptions and attitude towards climate change
impacts and adaptive capacities to address these impacts
in four Asian countries including the shrimp culture practices
in India (CIBA-NACSA/MPEDA-NACA project) through the
‘Aquaclimate’ project is highly admirable. I hope the project
will provide farmers with strategies to maintain their resilience
in the face of climate change.
